Wait, CNN twisted the facts of a story to make themselves look good? How could that be?…asked no one, ever. Via Washington Examiner. CNN misleadingly touted its Monday night town hall with Sen. Kamala Harris, who recently announced a 2020 bid, as the “most watched cable news single candidate election town hall ever.”…. However, just over two years ago, Fox News held a town hall with then-candidate Donald Trump getting 2.7 million viewers…. A number of outlets, including Mediaite, Politico, and also the Washington Examiner, have in the past 24 hours updated their initial stories on the CNN announcement to reflect accurately that CNN’s record was only a record for that network and not all of cable news….

In case you missed this, probably because you were, um, busy working in, you know, like your uniform, this is, like, really deep: Wear loungewear at home, to unlock, uh, your, you know, mental energy. Or something. Via American Mirror. The key to becoming more intelligent and productive in life is to wear the same pajamas every night. That’s the mind-boggling advice from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who recently took to Instagram to spread her secrets to success…. “So people talk about having a work uniform, um, you have certain outfits that you can go to,” Ocasio-Cortez began. “That you can put on so that you so that you, uh…, don’t have to spend a lot of time thinking about it.”…....

I’m not sure what an “avocado toast-mortgage payment’ is, but if her tweet was missing a comma, then Millennials are also killing punctuation. Maybe she was referring to a column written last year: Here’s how much avocado toast you have to give up to afford to buy a home But her tweet still makes little sense. She also brags about planning to pay her interns $15 an hour. But it would be so much more impressive if she paid them out of her own salary – $174,000 a year – rather than through the $1.2M each member of Congress receives for staff, office rent and technical devices. In other words, she is being very generous… with taxpayer – other people’s...

Oy vey… Actually, Ocasio-Cortez’s claim is more plausible than Elizabeth Warren’s assertion that she has Native American ancestry. But still: DNA test, please 🙂 And, if this is true, she might want to re-think her embrace of noted Jew-hater Linda Sarsour. Via Times of Israel. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told the audience at a Hannukah celebration on Sunday evening that she is descended from Sephardic Jews who fled Spain during the Inquisition. At the event organized by Jews for Racial and Economic Justice in Queens, New York, the newly elected Democratic congresswoman described how Jews fleeing persecution arrived in Puerto Rico, where cultures would blend and some outwardly practicing Catholics would also keep a menorah at home. “One of the things that...

Remember the U.N. warning last month, that we have only twelve years left before even a half degree of “global warming” will increase risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people ? Yeah, no Via IBD. Global Warming: Everyone makes mistakes, but some mistakes are bigger than others. That’s the case with a recent study based on a climate model that claimed the oceans had retained 60% more warming than previously thought. It made headlines around the world with its alarming conclusion. The study itself, by no fewer than ten authors, made sweeping claims. The authors wrote that the study held “implications for policy-relevant measurements of the Earth response to climate change, such as...

Now Liz Warren can run in 2020 as the “First Female (1/1024th) Native American President.” But that would be a fraud, as Warren appears to have less American Indian ancestry than the average American. Just saying. Via Breitbart. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has declared herself vindicated for a decades-long claim to be Cherokee, thanks to a DNA test she ordered in response to taunts from President Donald Trump, in another signal that the former professor is gearing up for a 2020 presidential run. According to Warren’s own DNA test, she has, at best, 1/64th Native American ancestry, but it could also be as low as 1/1,024. Percentage-wise, she can claim somewhere between 0.1 percent to 1.56 percent Native lineage. The...

A bunch of old pantsuits and “household items” are now worth a $50,000 tax deduction? Who knew? Via Boston Herald. More than three years ago, Sen. Elizabeth Warren told the Internal Revenue Service that she had donated $50,000 in used clothing and “household items” to local thrift stores in 2014…. That was the fake Indian’s story and she was sticking to it — until late yesterday afternoon, after we inquired about her rather, uh, profligate spending habits. Suddenly, the fake Indian’s story changed. The totals, her flack said, were “entry errors.” Hey, Senator, glad I could be of service, in helping you correct your false filing. (And I assume the returns, signed under pains and penalties of perjury, will now...

Not sure how speechless celebs staring into space will get out the vote. But what a relief not to hear their “progressive” nonsense talking-points. Via Hollywood Reporter. HBO’s stars are mugging for Rock the Vote once more. On Tuesday — National Voter Registration Day — HBO released its latest promo for the nonprofit advocacy group, which shows stars of its shows, including The Deuce, Westworld, Divorce, Silicon Valley, Insecure, 2 Dope Queens and Camping, observing a moment of silence. After several sequences of stars staying quiet, the ad reads, “Right now, there’s only one voice that needs to be heard. Yours.”

Several weeks ago, a friend sent me an email with a column from the New York Times. Two columnists, Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond, who, for some reason I have never figured out, call themselves “The Sugars,” write a “Dear Abby”- type advice column, and host a “Dear Sugars” podcast. After reading the question posed to the, um, “Sugars,” I fired back this email: “Seriously? This question is so over-the-top ridiculous, it looks to me like a hoax.” To which my friend responded, “You say that because you still can’t believe there are liberals out there who are that stupid.” Besides, she added, the columnists took the question very seriously. To which I replied, “Just shows how dumb the columnists...

Looks like POTUS is living rent-free in Feinstein’s head. Via Daily Caller. Sen. Feinstein was remembering McCain and how he was a driving force in the Senate and in the Republican Party when she accidentally gifted him with a new first name — “Donald.” “He could have very sobering outbursts, but when the chips were down, Donald McCain was there,” Feinstein said. “And he was there with heart and muscle, and it made a difference.”…. While honoring JOHN McCain, Senator Dianne Feinstein refers to "Donald McCain." pic.twitter.com/Q1vXPA1EDw — Scott Whitlock (@ScottJW) August 29, 2018

Hydrox was the original kosher sandwich cookie for several generations of American Jews…until 1998, when Oreo, in a marketing move to increase sales, announced they were changing some ingredients, and were going kosher. Hydrox disappeared for twelve years, but the cookie is making a comeback. And accusing Oreo of (gasp!) sabotage: Via Times of Israel. You know what Oreos are…. What you might not know is that Oreos are just a copycat of Hydrox, a sandwich cookie first sold in 1908, four years before the first Oreos appeared on shelves. Even though (or maybe because?) they came second, Oreos came to dominate the market, becoming a fixture in America’s grocery stores. But for most of the past century-plus, Hydrox has...

Could it be that Obama is concerned about how “toxic” Ocasio-Cortez might be to the Democrat midterms? Or, maybe since Celebrity Net Worth reported both Barack and Michelle Obama’s net worths as $40 million (each!), and according to data collected by [email protected], they could make as much as $242.5 million post-presidency, that whole “socialist-income-inequality-wealth-distribution” thing isn’t looking quite so appealing now. Via Free Beacon. Former President Barack Obama announced his endorsement Wednesday of dozens of Democratic candidates running for office in the November 2018 midterms. A statement released by the former president’s office said Obama will strive to help the Democratic Party retake control of the House of Representatives and increase the number of Democratic senators. “I’m proud to endorse...

Now that the Dems have changed the definition of “treason” to mean “any idea that you may have that does not totally conform to theirs,” can we now accuse Chuck Schumer of treason for enjoying a Krispie Kreme with Putin? Via Daily Wire. The Senate’s Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, ramped up to Defcon 1 after President Trump met with Vladimir Putin. “I’m from Brooklyn,” the New York Democart said on the Senate floor on Tuesday. “We learned one thing there, if we learned anything: when there’s a bully around, as Putin is, you show strength. But President Trump showed abject weakness. You know what that means? The bully will continue to take advantage of him. If President Trump was such...

Did you ever discover a half-eaten jar of pickles in the fridge, with all the liquid gone? You probably assumed it was because you placed the jar on its side, and the liquid somehow leaked out. Well, you might want to consider an alternative reason for the missing liquid: Perhaps someone in your household is a pickle juice drinker. Via WSJ. ….Sour reactions have long driven an untold population of Americans to swig the stuff covertly. “I am a closeted pickle-juice drinker,” says Dawn Crosswhite, 51, a therapist and clinical-social-work professor in Denver, who recently admitted her habit to friend Millete Birhanemaskel…. But now there’s hope. People who privately partake of pickle juice are finding it easier to go public,...

Americans don’t know how to spell “beautiful” ? This is so embrrasing, er, embarrassing. Via CNET. Yacht. Chaos. Apparel. Connecticut. These are some of the words America most needs help spelling, according to a Google Trends visualization released this week. The chart breaks down to most-searched words by state. By the way, it’s Maine that’s asking how to spell “Connecticut.” In case you’re overly worried about America’s informal online spelling bee, keep in mind that Google’s data comes from top-searched “how to spell” queries. So it’s possible a lot of these searchers knew how to spell the words right, but just wanted to double check. Perhaps more interesting here is comparing the 2018 results with those from 2017. My state...
